Had a conversation on discord where I recommended when reading Wheel of Time to just read 1-5 then skip to 12–14. Guy was really upset about that, thinking I ruined the experience.

Eh, I enjoyed myself, and got a satisfying conclusion to a series I had once loved and stopped when I got frustrated in the middle.

I’ll be honest, I kinda wish I could tell people to skip book 1, but it’s kinda important if weak.

#Reading #WheelOfTime #Apostate

I don't think I'll ever find #Christ. As an #apostate it becomes dubious to me. Cast from the kingdom, you say? If only I repproach myself I will be let back into the flock, back into the family?

I say nay. You call me #satan, and therefore, I dawn the horns. I don't think they'll ever come off...

Also, I'm an #atheist and still haven't gone #agnostic in my age - which is a bad sign for my estranged family lol.

If you are an #atheist, if you're a #humanist, and you're struggling to understand from where #morality comes, I would encourage you to look up the concepts of #harm and #HarmReduction.

You can have an objective moral standard that doesn't require the subjective notions of gods.

Consider these syllogisms:
P1: Murder causes pain and suffering to the victim and/or anyone that loves them.
P2: Pain and suffering are types of harm.
C: We should therefore reduce harm by avoiding murder.

P1: Getting a vaccine via shot causes temporary pain (i.e. harm).
P2: Vaccines prevent the spread of disease.
P3: Diseases can cause suffering and death (i.e. harm).
C: The temporary harm caused by the shot should not be avoided, in order to reduce the greater harm from disease.

Per #TheNewYorker

Are We #Sleepwalking Into #Dictatorship?

Liz #Cheney, the former congresswoman from Wyoming
and an ardent #conservative, is an #apostate for modern times. In a political party that has evolved into a personality #cult, her #apostasy resides in her #refusaltoworship its leader and in her defense of the #Constitution.

For such impudence, she was #banished and #votedout of Congress.

I am an #atheist and a #Christian #Apostate. I was in LA last week. A Hurricane and Earthquake struck this week.

Conclusion: if the Christian god exists, he's too slow.
